Sorry, I forgot to say that I have put in place the the rotation below: root@mymaster:/# cat /etc/logrotate.d/krb5kdc /var/log/krb5kdc/krb5kdc.log { rotate 120 monthly compress missingok notifempty }
Incidentally the reason why I want to do that is that the log file /var/log/krb5kdc.log gets too big. My setup is as follows: users are created in the College Windows AD and there is an inter-realm trust between the Windows DCs and our departmental Linux kerberos servers. So I get a lot of entries such as === Feb 26 14:06:00 mymaster.doc.ic.ac.uk krb5kdc[43052](info): AS_REQ (9 etypes {18 17 16 23 25 26 1 3 2}) __an_ip_address__: CLIENT_NOT_FOUND: a_u...@doc.ic.ac.uk for <unknown server>, Client not found in Kerberos database === Regards, Giuseppe On 26/02/16 11:22, Giuseppe Mazza wrote: > Hi there, > > I have got the following problem.
